As part of their September Newsletter, there is an in-house Battlefield 2 Q&A on the EA Games website. Lead designer Lars Gustavsson answers a few questions about the game which is due out early 2005.

EAGAMES: How easy will it be for a Battlefield 1942 or Battlefield Vietnam player to jump into Battlefield 2 and play? LARS: They say that you should never change a winning formula, but in our case we feel that there are still so many things that could take the Battlefield experience another step forward. If you have played any of the previous products there is no doubt that you will feel "at home" in Battlefield 2. We have tried to add additional layers of gameplay depth, instead of totally changing the experience. This means that you can play more or less as you did in Battlefield 1942 (with the addition of loads of new features like ducking in turrets, stabilized vehicle guns, new communication interface etc). But if you want to, you can go one step further and try a new game mode, join or even create a squad so that your gaming experience gradually grows until you sit there as the Commander to watch your troops conquer the world... Muhahaha!
In other Battlefield news, there's a new community update on the Battlefield Vietnam site with further information on the upcoming 1.2 patch among other things.
